Trump identity box - no longer in charge of Trump Plaza Associates or Trump Atlantic City Associates
[change source]See recent revisions to the Wikipedia article on Donald Trump: he is no longer in charge of the other two organizations besides the Trump Organization. SocraticOath (talk) 22:13, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Miss Universe?
[change source]Why is stuff about his being in Miss Universe here? Qwertyxp2000 (talk | changes) 23:40, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- There is no reference or citation and I do think it is factually incorrect, though that is what my honest opinion says. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | changes) 23:40, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- It's probably just outdated information. According to enwiki, he used to own it, but has since sold it. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:44, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
Yes a lot of the information was only in the past Among us wiki (talk) 00:25, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
"The Pope Opposition" Source
[change source]I am not allowed to edit this page, however, I have some sources for the unmarked citation of how the Pope opposes Donald Trump. http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/06/europe/pope-walls-us-election-trump/ http://time.com/4436759/pope-francis-trump-radical-islam/ http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/pope-speaks-trump-37028807 Hope this helps. --Deceasedpixel (talk) 03:11, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Deceasedpixel:: Thank you! --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 00:34, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- Popes have a fairly long history of criticizing world leaders including US presidents. And put in perspective, this is by a pope who supports people's right to illegally enter the US. We are presently hearing from everyone who doesn't like something Trump has said, has done, plans to do or might do. Rus793 (talk) 16:26, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks Deceasedpixel very helpful Among us wiki (talk) 00:11, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Spelling error
[change source]The word Beauty pagents should be Beauty pageants.
Update
[change source]No information beyond May 2018 has been added (such as an update on the Trump-Kim summit) or other events in the Trump administration has been added. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 07:01, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
"Incumbent" -> "Current"
[change source]Should "Incumbent" be changed to "Current"? Xinbenlv (talk) _"Current"" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:20, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
- Incumbent means current, Alex Devens (talk) 17:40, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
- They are referring to the fact we use Simple English at this wiki and are suggesting it might be simpler to use Current. -DJSasso (talk) 15:53, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Xinbenlv:: I agree with Current, I didn't even know what incumbent meant when I first saw it. Matthewishere0 (talk) 21:24, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Merge except delete the POV parts. Any controversies which reach near-nuclear stage could be hived off. Macdonald-ross (talk) 14:26, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose It is fairly standard to remove the presidency topic from the personal topic when it comes to leaders. And I think in the case of this president it is even more important than usual to do that because of how extensive the notability of both topics are separate from each other. The presidency, doesn't just refer to his position, but it includes his entire administration and cabinet which would not be relevant on a page about him the person. -DJSasso (talk) 14:32, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
Oppose - A separate page is no problem as long as it is notable and does not fail WP:NOT. In this case, the page meets notability and passes WP:NOT. Arthurfan828 - CHAT 16:23, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- '
Oppose': This page would become too long and since his presidency has not ended yet, we dont know how long the page might become Matthewishere0 (talk) 21:11, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Oppose - don't see how the separation is an issue. IWI (chat) 21:34, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Mar-a-Lago
[change source]Mar-a-Lago is missing the link to it's Wikipedia page, under the residence section. Toasterboi1 (talk) 20:17, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Toasterboi1: - What do you mean, can you explain? Matthewishere0 (talk) 21:22, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Presidential Twitter
[change source]Someone the presidential twitter. he’s not president anymore. Thescaredfruit (talk) 01:01, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Good point, I'd like to get approval before removing. --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 01:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- See WP:BOLD! --Auntof6 (talk) 01:21, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
Presidential oath
[change source]Hello, could you give me the video of Donald Trump taking the oath of office, I can't find the video on wikipedia. I am grateful if you can show me Francisco Alves das Chagas (talk) 00:35, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Francisco Alves das Chagas: Here it is on Wikimedia Commons. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Re: Bias removal
[change source]To the anonymous editor currently re-adding what was removed: Your assertion that CNN and MSNBC's claims are false are not supported by the op-ed that you keep citing - which at a casual glance does not mention any specific claims, or even the networks themselves. The afterthought attempt to subsequently "balance" this addition with NBC and CNN articles on subjects unrelated to the claims seems especially transparent in light of that - so I undid them all.
Furthermore, note that your edit history is publicly accessible, and as you have previously injected your own personal biases into other articles prior to this, I am doubtful as to the integrity of your attempts to "reduce bias" that so far only seem to be injecting a "positive bias" instead - which as you'll note is still a bias. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 04:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Page semi-protected..
[change source]Most edits of unnamed editors in the last few weeks have been vandlaism/adding graffitti. I have therefore semi-protected the page for 2 months. This means that only autoconfirmed users can edit it during that time. I will also open up the discussion here: If you see something that needs changing, please discuss the edit here, an autoconfirmed user can then make the edit, if the community agrees.--Eptalon (talk) 16:30, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
Barron Trump
[change source]Reinstated the redirection because nothing on that page pertained to Barron at all. Macdonald-ross (talk) 13:39, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
Cabinet members
[change source]Right now, Trump's cabinet members are not listed. Instead, his nominees for the cabinet are listed, as part of his presidential transition. Who was in the cabinet is more important than who he was planning to nominate, so it would probably be better if they were listed in his presidency section instead. Most of the cabinet positions were held by more than one person during his presidency; only the first holder of each position is currently listed. Lights and freedom (talk) 04:00, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Lights and freedom: Sounds reasonable. If all we have is a list, as opposed to a play-by-play description of nominations and confirmations, it makes more sense to list people who actually served. Go for it! -- Auntof6 (talk) 04:54, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
Please add text
[change source]Please change from "==Post-presidency=="
to
"==Post-presidency==
{{main|Indictment of Donald Trump}}". 2001:2020:349:E42A:EDA9:7BF8:83B4:CA1E (talk) 04:23, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not going to do that because his indictment isn't the only important event in his post-presidency. Lights and freedom (talk) 04:48, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Moved to Talk page
[change source](Keep: "The case is being handled by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia."
Moved: "For now, the federal election case in Washington D.C. returns to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, according to media."--Justification: The article about Donald Trump, is simpler that way. 2001:2020:30D:F429:6C0F:C945:C8BA:1E7D (talk) 03:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
(The edit remark, when i made the move, was "Oops".--A mis-click/misclick.) 2001:2020:30D:F429:6C0F:C945:C8BA:1E7D (talk) 03:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
*"The case has been called, Jack Smith's attempt at putting Trump on trial."--Justification: POV. 2001:2020:30D:F429:F49B:F4DA:3BDA:8A6B (talk) 04:01, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
"Trump v. United States (2024)"
[change source]One topic that the wiki-article about Trump, will not need now:
"The terrifying SEAL Team 6 scenario". Link,
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/02/trump-immunity-murder-navy-sotomayor-00166385
.--For now, we don't have an article about Trump v. United States (2024), in case anyone was wondering. 80.67.37.2 (talk) 12:30, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Under construction
[change source]There is no date for the trial in Florida [as of July 5]; Trump's lawyers have asked the judge, if Trump can get a "chance to argue the immunity issue", in front of the judge "between now and early September, effectively pausing all other proceedings in the case by two months."
Source in part, https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/05/trump-immunity-classified-documents-00166653 80.67.37.2 (talk) 13:54, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Page semi-protected, IP's still welcome...
[change source]Hello all, the U.S. election date is soon, and this is one of the candiates for the presidency. The level of vandalism increased, and I have therefore semi-protected the page, so that only autoconfirmed named editors can change it. The protectiob will expire after the election is over. Editors who aren't autoconfirmed can still suggest changes here, and an auotcofirmed editor can then make the change, once there is agreement. Eptalon (talk) 23:30, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Melania Trump marriage year
[change source]This article says Donald Trump married Melania in 2022, but the regular English article says 2005.173.89.127.142 (talk) 00:50, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Source? Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 11:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have a source, I'm just notifying there was a discrepancy between the regular English and Simple English article. They both say the same year now.173.89.127.142 (talk) 18:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Info needs to be added to section "Election obstruction case (in federal court)"
[change source]Please insert (the following), in front of paragraph: This Election obstruction case, is sometimes called the "federal election case in Washington D.C." Trump is charged with conspiring to subvert the 2020 election, according to media".
The judge (in the trial) "has scheduled a Sept. 5 hearing to set a course for the case", according to media.[1] Furthermore, during the previous month, a new "indictment [... removed] some specific allegations against Trump".[1]
Comment: If the change does not work out, I can make the change next year (and in the mean time, our article can wear a dunce's cap). Good luck (while i fix other articles). 80.67.37.2 (talk) 10:43, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on August 31 2024
[change source]{{editsemiprotected}} Can someone add a padlock icon to this page 125.160.112.61 (talk) 08:41, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
"Falsifying business records (trial in state court)"
[change source]That section of the wiki-article could use an update about: Media wrote (September 3, 2024) that the judge is "weighing requests from Trump to toss out the verdict or postpone the sentencing hearing until after Election Day".--My comment: The source of direct quote is www.politico.com/news/2024/09/03/trump-hush-money-challenge-00177246, Retrieved today.--Good luck until the article opens for IPs (possibly around January). 80.67.37.2 (talk) 11:50, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
"Falsifying business records (trial in state court)" | September
[change source]That section of the wiki-article could use a change to:
... The judge (in the case) is supposed to hand down a sentence, on November 26.[2]
(From: "The judge (in the case) is supposed to hand down a sentence, on September 18"). 2001:2020:32F:B461:5547:9CC6:3752:3FC4 (talk) 13:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- What do you mean? Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 06:49, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- The IP user is asking for an change in date from September 18 to November 26 for that sentence. Jolly1253 (talk) 06:55, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
